The Experts

The Experts is one of the longest-running segments on The Red Green Show, and it takes place in the Lodge basement, where the Lodge Meeting takes place.

Each segment begins with the host saying the catchphrase, "Welcome to the Experts portion of the show, where we examine those three little words that men find so hard to say: I Don't Know!".

Red Green appears in every segment as an Expert, accompanied by another member of the Lodge including Harold in later seasons.

The host reads a letter from a viewer, which asks the Experts a question, usually for a piece of advice. The Experts then try to answer this question, often resulting in some bizarre revelation from either or both of the Experts.

Harold Green is the host of The Experts until season nine, when he leaves the Lodge to work in Port Asbestos.

After this event, several of the other Lodge members hosted The Experts.

In earlier seasons, Harold introduces the segment completely on his own.

But in later seasons, he and the hosts wait for the audience to complete the introduction by calling out "I don't know!".

In the last five seasons, the Experts are usually seated on a bench made from the front of a car, whose headlights flash in time with the audience during the introduction.

This segment replaced Male Call, in which Harold reads a letter from a viewer to Red.

However, most of the letters received in Male Call have more to do with the show itself, while letters to The Experts ask more specifically for advice or specialized knowledge.

This segment debuted in Season 3 and ran through the end of the series.
